-
You need a project executed. Great! Let's work together to determine why it's needed, what it means if it doesn't happen, define the value proposition, and baseline its scope.
-
Whether quantitative (Google Analytics) or qualitative (customer interviews, surveys, informational campaigns), count on me to focus on how we'll measure success
-
Executive Summaries for the c-suite? Product Requirements Docs (PRDs)? Stakeholder maps and registers? Risk register, issue log, assumption log?
When I lead projects, there's no need to worry about where things stand.
-
I've led design sprints, built prototypes, and refined many a wireframe. I'll ensure we're all driving towards the same goal by building consensus up front and focusing on the end user experience.
